 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
To make objectives, technical solutions and advantages of embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, technical solutions of embodiment of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with reference to figures in embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, embodiments described here are partial embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those having ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, without making any inventive efforts, fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method of pushing search results according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method comprises:
101: performing real-time search according to the user's key word to obtain current search results.
102: performing statistics of access heat of each content in the current search results.
103: obtaining, from the current search results, content whose access heat meets heat requirements, as content to be pushed.
104: pushing the content to be pushed to the user.
In the present embodiment, the search engine performs real-time search according to the user's key word, and pushes the search results to the user so that the user obtains the desired information in time.
A mode of implementing real-time search is as follows: pre-setting a trigger condition for real-time search, and enabling the search engine to perform search according to the user's key word every time when the trigger condition for the real-time search is satisfied, wherein the trigger condition for the real-time search may be set adaptively according to specific application scenario. Illustration is presented by way of example.
For example, the trigger condition for the real-time search may be a preset search frequency. Based on this, the search engine cyclically performs search according to the preset search frequency and the user's key word to implement real-time search. By way of example, the search frequency may be searching once every two minutes, or every five minutes, or the like.
Again for example, the trigger condition for the real-time search may be a preset search times threshold in a unit time. Base on this, the search engine performs search not less than the search times threshold according to the user's key word in the unit time according to needs, to implement the real-time search. For example, the search times threshold in the unit time may be 10,000 times per hour or 200 times per minutes, or the like.
In addition, the trigger condition for the real-time search may further be some events, for example, the search frequency of the key word exceeds a threshold, or the user browses the current search results.
Since the real-time search needs to push the search results frequently to the user, which consumes the user's network resources such as traffic. Regarding this problem, in the present embodiment, after the search results are obtained by performing real-time search according to the user's key word, the search results are not directly pushed to the user as in the prior art, but filtered according to access heat of each content in the search results to obtain partial content whose access heat meets heat requirements and push it to the user, to reduce the number of pushed results and thereby reduce network resources consumed in pushing search results to the user, and save the user's network resources. It is appreciated that in the present embodiment, the search results are screened based on access heat, generally the content whose access heat meets the heat requirements belongs to content with higher value, the user only would like to click and view content with higher value, and content whose access heat does not meet the heat requirement generally belongs to content with lower value or without value. Therefore, the number of search results pushed to the user in the present embodiment is reduced, but the content pushed to the user all are content with higher value.
It is appreciated that the same processing may be performed for the search results obtained from each search during the real-time search. To facilitate depiction, the present embodiment presents detailed description by taking the current search results obtained from real-time search as an example.
Specifically, the search engine receives the user-input key word, and performs real-time search according to the user's key word to obtain the current search results; performs statistics of the access heat of each content in the current search results, and obtains from the current search results content whose access heat meets the heat requirements as the content to be pushed; and pushes the content to be pushed to the user.
Before performing the access heat of each content in the current search results, the search engine may judge whether the current search results have new content as compared with at least one search result before the current search results obtained by the search engine performing real-time search according to the user's key word; if the judgment result is yes, this means that the current search results have new content as compared with at least one previous search result. Since new content appears, it is determined that the current search results need to be pushed to the user so that the user obtains new content in time; on the contrary, if the judgment result is no, this means that the current search results do not have new content as compared with at least one previous search result, and means that the content in the current search results has already been pushed to the user during the previous pushing procedures. Therefore, it may be determined that the current search results may not be pushed to the user. This may save the user's network resources, lessen unpleasure caused by repeated pushing of the same content to the user, improve the user's experience, and meanwhile facilitate saving the processing resources of the search engine.
After it is determined that the current search results need to be pushed to the user, the search engine performs subsequent operations of performing statistics of the access heat of each content in the current search results and obtaining the content to be pushed according to the access heat and pushing the content to the user, thereby lessening the processing burden of the search engine and saving resources.
Furthermore, before judging whether the current search results have different new content as compared with at least one search result before the current search results, the search engine may perform deduplication processing for the at least one search result before the current search results. Said deduplication processing refers to removing the same content existing in each search result in at least one search result before the current search results. Deduplication may reduce the number of content compared with the current search results and facilitate lessening the processing burden of the search engine. For example, as for each search result, comparison may be performed according to the context of the key word to remove the repeated content (mainly webpages) in the search results.
It is appreciated that the at least one search result before the current search results may include all search results before the current search results, or may include partial search results before the current search results, for example may be the first search result. When the at least one search result before the current search results is the first search obtained by performing real-time search according to the user's key word, search results subsequently obtained from the real-time search are all compared with the first search result. If different new content appears, the flow shown in FIG. 1 will be executed to push the search result to the user.
In conjunction with the implementation mode of judging whether the current search results have new content as compared with at least one search result before the current search results, when it is judged that the current search results have new content as compared with at least one search result before the current search results, performing statistics of the access heat of each content in the current search results is specifically as follows: extracting from the current search results new content different from at least one previous search result, and performing statistics of the access heat of the new content. Only performing statistics of the access heat of the new content facilitates lessening the processing burden of the search engine and improving the statistics efficiency. Correspondingly, obtaining, from the current search results, the content whose access heat meets the heat requirements as the content to be pushed is specifically obtaining, from the new content, the content whose access heat meets the heat requirements as the content to be pushed.
In an optional implementation mode, the access heat of content in the search results may be reflected by a click rate. Based on this, performing statistics of the access heat of each content in the current search results is specifically performing statistics of the click rate of each content in the current search results. Correspondingly, the heat requirement may be a click threshold. If the click rate of the content in the search results is larger than the click threshold, it is believed that the content meets the heat requirement; on the contrary, it is believed that the content does not meet the heat requirement.
In an optional implementation mode, the access heat of content in the search results may be reflected by a read stay average duration. Based on this, performing statistics of the access heat of each content in the current search results is specifically performing statistics of the read stay average duration of each content in the current search results. Correspondingly, the heat requirement may be a read duration threshold. If the read stay average duration of the content in the search results is larger than the read duration threshold, it is believed that the content meets the heat requirement; on the contrary, it is believed that the content does not meet the heat requirement. The read stay average duration refers to an average value of read stay durations of all users clicking and reading the same content upon reading the content. The user's read stay duration for a certain content refers to a duration of stay on a page where the content lies after the user clicks the content.
In a further implementation mode, the access heat of content in the search results may be reflected by a click rate and a read stay average duration. Based on this, performing statistics of the access heat of each content in the current search results is specifically performing statistics of the click rate and the read stay average duration of each content in the current search results. Correspondingly, the heat requirement may be a click threshold and a read duration threshold. If the click rate of the content in the search results is larger than the click threshold and the read stay average duration upon reading the content is larger than the read duration threshold, it is believed that the content meets the heat requirement; in other cases, it is believed that the content does not meet the heat requirement.
The aforesaid heat requirement may be pre-configured locally at the search engine. Or, upon performing real-time search each time, the user inputs the key word and inputs an instruction to enable the search engine to determine the heat requirement. Based on this, the search engine performs real-time search according to the user-input key word, and determines the heat requirement according to the user-input instruction. For example, the search engine may display an optional heat requirement to the user according to the user's instruction for the user's selection; the search engine selects recommended content from the search results according to the heat requirement selected by the user.
As can be seen from the above, in the present embodiment, real-time search is performed according to the user's key word, a search result is pushed to the user, and the user may obtain the desired information in time. In this procedure, statistics is performed for the access heat of each content in the current search results, content whose access heat meets the heat requirement is obtained from the current search results and pushed to the user as the pushed content, and this is equivalent to screening the search results. This may reduce the number of search results pushed to the user, reduce network resources consumed in pushing the search result to the user, and facilitate the saving of the user's network resources.
